Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder will not run for president in 2016, according to two sources familiar with his planning.

Snyder, a Republican who was first elected in 2010, has been traveling across the country in recent weeks but has decided against a White House bid. One source close Snyder said he’d expressed concern about the time commitment needed for a national campaign.

“He is concerned about solving the problems in Michigan and the time commitment needed for out-of-state travel,” one source said.

A Snyder spokesman declined to comment.

1. Useless RW POS

should have jumped on the clown bus. Too many now for a clown car. Glad his slick tax rip off got defeated yesterday.

[Siwsan]

5. That tax proposal 1 wasn't defeated - it was OBLITERATED

Just about the worst defeat, ever, for a proposal in Michigan. Some counties defeated it by 90%!

[heaven05]

15. YES

Finally a defeat for these heartless bastards of the RW hate machine! Small victories can turn into large victories if we vote.

[Siwsan]

16. My suspicion was that Snyder has a cousin in the asphalt business

Much like he has a cousin in the furniture business got that multi-million dollar contract to supply the state with office furnishings.

[heaven05]

17. that works

[Siwsan]

2. My gut says he will run for the Senate, against Senator Stabenow

He will lose, of course.

[roamer65]

10. Oh, that will be pure joy to see that trouncing.

Debbie Stabenow is a moderate Dem, so he won't have a chance against her.

[erronis]

3. Oh, I forgot to announce that I was running!

Whoops, changed my mind.

Rick, like anyone gave a shit.

[LiberalElite]

4. "...concerned about solving the problems in Michigan..."

sure he is.

[valerief]

6. No room in the Clown Car for another MegaAsshole? nt

[3catwoman3]

7. Because he's done...

...SUCH a stellar job getting Michigan on its feet, right? Has the RNC been beating on his door, pleading with him to run and we missed it?

[ToxMarz]

8. Now would probably be a good time

to announce that I have decided not to run either

[George II]

9. I guess there are so many running, it's easier to announce who is NOT running!

[Little Tich]

11. He had already a reserved seat in the clown bus, with whoopee cushion and everything.

Oh well, when one clown doesn’t turn up, there’s always another one to take his place.

12. One less Republican asshole on the clown car

No loss...

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

13. I wonder who twisted his arm ...

... If he ran, his votes would probably come from his political twin, Scott Walker.

So I'm guessing some PTB leaned on him. If the Repubs take the Oval Office, Snyder will land a nice job in the administration.

14. Good. Mr. "One Tough Nerd" has been exposed as a spineless, weak liar.

Prop 1 did him in, ha. I can't believe they re-elected that sorry excuse for a "leader." He's caved to the baggers on every single issue except Medicaid expansion. He only bucked them then because he knew that he would NEVER be re-elected if he refused to do it. I think I despise Snyder more than any other politician today (and there's a LOT of them to despise) because he's such a phoney and a goddamn LIAR who is turning my once lovely state into the Third world.

18. 5-7-15. Never Forget. A Day That Will Live In Infamy.

Truly a national tragedy has befallen us today.

[llmart]

19. After the trouncing he got on Tuesday.......

maybe he has to go lick his wounds. He must realize that even his own state wouldn't vote for him after that. I heard on the local news that it was the worst proposal defeat in 50 years.

"Concerned about solving the problems of Michigan" my Aunt Tillie. He's only concerned about lining the pockets of his buddies.
